Woodwind instrument

You have the low end sine waves of Howell's bass grounding the physical space, combined with this really complex polyrhythmic percussion.

And then way above that, you have the human voice and the high frequency overtones of Young Gay as Woodwinds.

Which is tricky because the masking effect in acoustics dictates that lower frequencies can easily swallow up higher frequencies if they aren't carefully managed.

Right.

We both get it.

As the chair of Woodwinds, as I like to start sentences with

now.

It's amazing.

There's a more orchestral sound on this.

Woodwinds and things like that.

Brad Meldau at his peak.

Maybe the best jazz pianist from like 1990 through to the 2000s as well.

And we are gonna close things off tonight with a track from Sarah Davachi.

We're gonna hear Interlude 5 (Harmonic) for Woodwinds from the album The Weave of Tongues.

Awesome.

This is an exercise in tuning theory, textural and timbral vibration, variation, and minimalism.

Pat Patrick on baritone sax and tuba.

Carvin Boucher, Piccolo Oboe, English Horn, Woodwinds, Paul Chambers and Art Davis.

Those are the basses that are counterpunctual with Reggie Workman.

You hear that boom, boom,

The winds family is right.

[ding] Woodwinds, winds.

[laughs]

There you go.

I would be fascinated to see that show live because they're sonically a very interesting band.

I mean, not just like the Woodwinds and things like that, you know, but they're sonically a pretty interesting band.

Aqua Lungs, you know, that's a great entry.

Yeah, I would go with Jethro Tull there, I think.
